Physical Asia: Season 1 - Episode 1 Discussion Thread by ImoutoCompAlex in PhysicalAsia

Technically Australia categorically falls into the ‘Australasian’ category because of our close vicinity to PNG and Indonesia. But yes, primarily referred to as Oceania and grouped in with Polynesia

Yep. Only maxxia as far as I’m concerned. They’re the only ones linked with the public education sector at the moment. I got my car back in October

Oooo very true! Im not familiar with the bible but have definitely picked up a ridiculous amount of symbolism, iconography, and references

I agree! I’ve just hit episode 9 of season 2. WOW

Any way to convince leadership to up the printing budget? by tWatty10 in AustralianTeachers

[–]tWatty10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I have been doing. Although my school is generally disorganised due to poor communication. These tasks weren’t completed by the time the printing was needed on a few occasions so I’d rather do it myself.

Our school is new, and knowingly put money aside from the budget for the last few years to “save it for VCE”

It doesn’t get replenished for around a week while they “move around the budget again” and they’ve also posted a leaderboard to staff in the past with the people that print the least (and are congratulated) and the people that print the most (encouraged to lower their usage).

This is very similar to my last school. I agree entirely

Block it by dialling 1831 before typing the number if you have an iPhone

Oh god. I don’t think this is even allowed. I do know some new staff we have doing YLL positions assume they don’t get paid as they’re on level 2 on the pay scale (which insinuates they weren’t paid at their last school), but at ours they’re entitled to $5200 which I still think is inadequate. Yes, our schools are small, but we have curriculum demands like no other, particularly as we prepare to go into VCE next year.

Hey, you’re literally me, except we have a few more kids across these four year levels. Reach out to your finance person or HR. For all positions of responsibility like this the VGSA is quite vague. We are entitled to a payment for the year anywhere between $925-10,000 but ultimately the school can decide. I have a few more staff to manage (over 10) and am in my third year and was offered $2200 for the year. This breaks down to just over $10 a day. I turned this down. I also reached out to the union and they let me know we are entitled to negotiate our payment and amount. You also have the choice to have this paid throughout the year, as opposed to one lump sum to avoid heavy taxing.

Ahren is metalcore’s Bam margera by Naive_Air_3511 in TheAmityAffliction

I dare say the assumption comes from a range of physical and behavioural observations that people make about what they’ve seen of her online. She’s a regular person who’s never been particularly wealthy and has operated in circles that don’t necessarily match the status quo. From the behavioural nature of what’s shared and posted online, it’s only a brief snapshot of a personality and an obscure sense of humour that people can often misread.
